Thoughts raced through Qi Wu's mind.
In his previous life, the Empire had been caught off guard when the demon tide erupted.
The border defenses had been breached in numerous places, countless Psychics had died in battle, and several border cities had been reduced to hellscapes.
It had been a disaster.
Worse still, the first demon tide had marked the beginning of the Demons' large-scale invasion of humanity.
Humanity had suffered defeat after defeat, its defensive lines collapsing one after another.
By the time Qi Wu was reborn, Great Xia had already been teetering on the brink.
But this time...
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
This time, he was here.
He would never let that tragedy happen again!
Wolf Team answered the call from the Imperial Capital.
An authoritative voice came through the communicator.
"Bai Xiao, return to the Imperial Capital for a meeting immediately."
"An emergency meeting."
"All Branch Bureau Directors must attend."
Wolf Team fell silent for a second.
"Is this about the demon tide at the border?"
"Yes."
"All right. I'll leave right away."
He ended the call.
Then he looked at Qi Wu.
"Qi Wu, are you coming to the Imperial Capital with me?"
Qi Wu shook his head.
"I'll pass."
He looked at Wolf Team.
"They're probably going to order our Nanjiang Bureau to reinforce the border defenses."
"Go ahead with the meeting, Wolf Team. I need to head back first."
Wolf Team frowned.
"Head back? To Nanjiang?"
Qi Wu nodded.
"Yes."
He put away the severed arm.
Then he stood up.
"I need to go back and get things ready."
"Strengthen the members of my Salvation Squad."
He looked into the distance.
Toward Nanjiang.
"The spiritual energy revival has officially begun."
"More enemies are coming, and they'll be stronger."
"I can't do it alone."
